Sheet References
In Altium Sheet to Sheet References are referred to as Port Cross References.
For hierarchical designs you would NOT use Port Cross References since all references lead to the top hierarchical sheet in the project.
When flat (Non-hierarchical) schematics are preferred. Port Cross References can be used to aid in following the circuit flow from sheet to sheet.
To generate sheet to sheet references in the schematic:
Reports > Port Cross References
Note if you have a hierarchical top sheet then "Add To ..." is not an option, you will need to delete the hierarchical top sheet to create Port Cross References.
Gotch'a ! Compile your project before adding "Port Cross References".
Also to update a design you will need use Remove From ... and then Add To ...

Population - Schematic Filters
Bill of Material (BOM) with Population Column.
Using variants in Altium is a great way to customize the BOMs, Schematics, and Assembly Drawings for projects where the PCB is common to two or more
Line items sorted with Do Not Install (DNI) parts shown last.
Use SCH Filter to find Hidden DNI parts in schematic sheets.
(ObjectKind = 'Parameter') And (IsHidden = 'True') And (ParameterValue = 'DNI') And (ParameterName = 'Population')
Use SCH List or SCH Inspector to display and edit Hidden DNI parts.
Tips:

Tips:
Select a Variant and Validate the Project
Find DNI's in the PCB use Tools > Cross Select Mode using:
Filter > (ObjectKind = 'Part') And HasParameter('Population', 'DNI')
That's It !
